Utah Matters,

SALT LAKE, July 6.-The day in the
constitutional convention has been taken
up in the discussion of the clauses prohib-
iting polygamy and providing for the sep
aration Of church and state. The discus,
sion was animated, and some vigorous
speeches were made against both clauses,
but both passed the committee of the
whole and will undoubtedly be adopted
by an overwhelming majority. Whether
or not the people will ratify the constitu-
ton by a popular vote next August re-
mains to be seen. 1t is believed there
will be a satisfactory majority in favor OF
the constitution. though many old and
thorough going homogeneous Mormons
are pronounced in opposition to the anti,
polygamy article. Strangely enough the
anti Mormon press is bitterly opposing
the constitution, and especially the polyg.
amy p%rohibitory clause. Why Gentle
papers shobld encourage the saints to
cling to polygamy after waging unrelent.
ing war on them because of the practice
is mysterious.
The convention is working hard, hold,
ing three sessions a day, in order to com
plete the work and get the constitution
well before the people in time for an in,
telligent vote on the same at the August
election.
The Mormon constitutional convention
struck the following out of their proposed
constitution; mo religious sect or de,
nomination hal control or appropriate tc
its own use any of the public school OF
university funds of the state"

HANGED TO A BRIDGE.
John Christensen Lynched by
an Infatuated Mob
For the Brutal Shooting of
DR.. North.
Another Terrible Fire at Clar-
endon, Pa.
An Indiana Lynchlng.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 6.-The' Journal s
Peru, Ind, correspondent reports that
DR.. North, physician in charge of the
Wabash, st. Louis & Pacific railway hos
pital at that point, was shot and fatally
wounded this morning by John Chris
Hanson. Christianson's s~tepdaughter
married last night against his wishes, and
he was much enraged thereat. He called
to see her this morning and began beat
ing her, but was frightened away by sew
eral men coming to her rescue. He ran
into the shed and fired two shots. DR..
North and others supposed he had com
mitted suicide and opened the door of the
shed, when Christianson fired point blank
at North, inficting a wound which is
thought to be fatal. Christianson mar
rowly escaped mob violence, but was
finally safely lodged in jail. North is a
brother-in.l law of DR.. jackson, chief sur
geon of the Wabash railway.
The excitement on the streets of Peru
during the afternoon and evening was in
tense, and there was free talk Of taking
Christianson from jail and hanging him.
Men drew together in groups and the
shooting of the doctor and the punish
ment of Christensen formed the sole topic
of discussion. This talk finally ohrystal-
lized into thorough and systematic prepa-
%rations. At 1915 this morning twenty
two masked men appeared at the jail and
demanded the keys. The demand was
refused and the mob broke down the large
iron doors in fifteen minutes, and Chris
Hanson was in their possession. He was
taken on a dead run down Broadway to
the bridge crossing the Wabash river,
where he was twice strung up, the first
time without the desired result, but the
second time his life was e~xtinguished.
The man died at l2:45.
The lynchIng was witnessed by about
1000 people.
DR.. North is lying in a very critical con-
dition, with chances against

ton of the frontage and speedily made its
way towards the main entrance.

Charge Against Capt. Williams.


New YORK, July 6.-New York's
famous and popular police captain, Will
liams, was put on trial before the police
board to-day on a complaint of a number
of citizens who charged that he allowed
notorious houses of i'll repute to exist
openly and Extensively in his precinct, and
that he permitted such resorts as that of
Tom" Gould to violate the excise law.
Rev. Father Praetori testified that when
certain notorious and disreputable women
were arraigned in the police court on his
(Praetori's) complaint, Capt. Williams
appeared and testified that he knew moth
ing against them. On behalf of the cap
tain, Lawyer Steiner testified that Will
liams was not in the police court when the
cases referred to by Father Praetori were
examined; that the captain consequently
had not testified as to their character, and
that the prisoners were discharged by
consent of Father Praetori's counsel, who
acknowledged there was no evidence
against them.
Capt. Williams testified in his own be-
half to the effect that since he became
captain of the police precinct the area
infested by %disreputable houses had been
greatly restricted and their numbers
largely reduced. He offered to show that
one of the compliments owned two
houses which are used for immoral pur-
poses, but the offer was declined. Will
llams denied having recommended Tom
Gould's application for a license.
Decision was reserved.

Enforced Absences From claims

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Commissioner
Sparks, of the general land office, has re-
celved a letter from a public land entry
man in Eastern Colorado, stating that the
drouth has already greatly damaged the
crops in that section and that if it con-
tinues much longer the crops will be a
complete failure; that insects have de-
stroyed the growing vegetables and there
is absolutely no feed for stock.
The entryman states that his neighbors
are forced to leave their holdings to obtain
the necessaries of life, and asks if this
absence will operate to defeat their claim
when final proof is offered.
The commissioners answer is import
ant as indicating the policy of the general
land Office with respect to these cases, of
which, it is stated. there are a large num-
Der in different parts OF the West. The
commissioner says:
THE distressing situation you have
mentioned appeals to my strongest sym.
pathies in favor of actual settlers on the
public domain who are suffering from
drought and loss of crops, and whatever
relief may be possible within the
discretion of this office will be
extended to enable them to
preserve their claims. Settlers
who are obliged to leave their claims on
account of drought, should be prepared
to account for their absence from this
aus when they make final proof, but in
such cases proof should not be offered
until the law has been fully complied with
after their return to the land. An en-
forced absence on account of climatic
reasons will not imperil their claim, if the
fact is established when proof is made,
and if proof Is not attempted to be made
in advance of the time when the residence,
improvement and cultivation required by
law can be satisfactorily shown"
